Thank you for visiting the West Bend Sunrise Rotary website. Whether you are looking to serve your community, make new friends, or network, Rotary can be whatever you are looking for. A great group of people doing lots of good things to make our community and the world a better place. We would love to have you join us!
I have been a Rotarian since 2015. I had some friends who were club members and they encouraged me to come to a meeting. It took me a couple years before I took them up on the offer, but I am certainly glad I did. I have enjoyed the camaraderie of Sunrise Rotary and it is truly a joy to spend some time each week with the members of this club. It is important to me, and gives me great pleasure, to give back to our local community as well as the impact we have had through our international efforts.
Rotary is a worldwide organization with over 1.4 million members in 46,000+ clubs. Rotary has seven main causes: Promoting peace; Fighting disease; Providing clean water, sanitation, and hygiene; Saving mothers and children; Supporting education; Growing local economies; Protecting the environment. At the West Bend Sunrise Rotary Club, we focus on these needs locally, nationally, and internationally, making an impact both in our community and all around the world.
If you would like to learn more about our Club or schedule a time to be a guest at one of our breakfast meetings, please don’t hesitate to reach out to me via email at johnknoll@charter.net. We look forward to welcoming you in to show you what Rotary and our Club have to offer!
